Inspirational People and Blog Love

This post has been inspired by people around me and they are inspirational, in the ‘living green category’. This is a list of the ‘Sarhn awards’. Like the Grammies and Oscars but only better! J

My cousin Amber

An amazing woman who has been supporting my quest to not only live a greener life but also a life lived free from cruelty to animals. Read my post about Lucy which was inspired by Amber.

Amber has just won international recognition for her caring for animals charity work. The company Amber works for is owned by a company called Liberty Global who has an annual award scheme that celebrates employees that do volunteer work in their community. Amber was a finalist this year (not bad considering there are 22,000 employees world wide) but the best news is that the prize of 1000 Euros goes directly to Amber’s charity – the RSPCA.

My good friend Dave

Regular readers will be familiar of Zoo man, Tassie Devil defender Dave. His wife Lou is a regular contributor of information to this blog.

Dave is regularly featured in the press. From being on the TV show ‘The Zoo’ and many newspaper and magazine articles; Dave speaks out about the plight of our Tassie Devil.

Remember the Tassie Devil fund raiser in 2008? Dave’s virtual Devil and many others helped to raise over $50,000. This money will help zoos throughout Australia breed Devils for release into the wild when it’s safe to do so.

Graham (I met Graham when I photographed his wedding)

I recently found Graham and his wife on facebook. They accepted my invitation to join my facebook network of friends.

Looking through Graham’s photographs and facebook profile I was not only inspired but surprised. Surprise because I never knew of his work and researching in saving the Ethiopian Wolf. This species of wolf are those long legged variety found in the mountains of Ethiopia and there are only 500 remaining.

According to the ‘Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme’website, Graham joined as a field coordinator in 2006 and since then has been working in Ethiopian in the attempts to save this species.

My husband Brett

Hi gorgeous man you! You have been totally supportive of the changes I have made throughout our home and lifestyle. I realise that my quest to live a ‘greener’ life directly impacts you and thus you have also been on a ‘green’ journey that was not of your own partaking. Though this was my idea and passion you have embraced the ‘green’ journey and made it your own. Thank you for your love and support.

Australian Bloggers

This is a little thank you to those bloggers who have supported, encouraged and inspired me on my journey to live a ‘greener’ life.

Have you ever think about creating your very own blog? There are many great platforms, but by far the best is WordPress. It is fast to set up, however the themes just never fit my specifications. I looked for a simple solution to this problem and realized that there wasn’t one. I then had a template custom made for my needs and was so happy with the outcome. I then decided to build a website that would show the world how to easily hire an expert in wordpress design.

The Ethiopian Wolf is an amazing animal but it isn’t me that is doing the amazing work to save them but Graham and many others like him. I’m just speading the news and a little more awarness of their work.

Dave you and Lou are inspirational ! Thank you on behalf of all Australians for your hard work in helping to keep the Tassie Devils alive. I just don’t think many Australians realise how many of our loved native animals are close to being extinct.

I can’t imagine living in Australia without the Tassie Devil but I know this could be a reality.

By looking at your blog I would never have guessed that you have been only blogging for a couple of weeks. Welcome to cyber blog world. There are some really wonderful bloggers out there and especially in the Australian green category you will find the bloggers are very supportive.

It takes time and you woud be surprised on who is reading (even if people don’t always leave comments they do read).

And look you have already made an impact as you gave me the great idea of starting a ‘Clean Up Australia’ day for our dog walking area!

Thanks so much for the mention Sarhn! I honestly appreciate it – particularly given that I have only been blogging for a few weeks and still feel like nobody is reading.
Looks like you are very lucky to have so many inspiratonal ‘friends’.

Wow, thanks for the link-love! The journey towards sustainability has been an interesting one for me, and your reading blog has helped. It’s great to be able to find like-minded people online to share/steal ideas from :-).
